FRIDAY FLOWERS: HELLEBORES




The Hellebores are here! With their pale pink and pale, creamy white flowers they are making a statement in my winter garden.









Very spring-like here mixed with daffodils, all in a yellow pitcher





And here is THE book to buy for the best information on Hellebores:
"Hellebores: A Comprehensive Guide" by Burrell & Tyler.

The authors just happen to own Pine Knot Farms in Clarkesville, Virginia where every February they host the "Hellebore Festival". Hundreds of plants for sale, lots of information, and a beautiful day out in the countryside.

So pretty. I need to start planning a garden for "all" seasons - every year I think I'm going to do it - then....life happens! Thanks for sharing....

Wow.....Hellebores, the only flower I kept in my recent garden clean out. Merci beaucoup for the book reference. I LOVE this flower. Libby, welcome to the South where this flower flourishes!

Lovely post! I adore hellebore; they are the one plant that never lets me down. Off to plan a trip to Clarkesville.

I especially like your last photograph...the yellow vase with the pink Helleborous and yellow daffodils is absolutely charming. I still have to wait another 2 months for my helleborous to bloom. They are one of my most favorite flowers.

Hi Libby,

Thanks so much for leaving a comment. So glad you found your way to my blog and glad you will be following along. I enjoy so much receiving comments and cherish all of my visits.

I am adding you to my blog roll and will send a friend request through FB.

I took a peek into your shop...very nice! I love all the bright colors that the rugs come in. I will certainly keep them in mind as soon I will need to make a purchase for my kitchen.

Again, Thank you for stopping by. If you would be so kind, please like me on my FB page La petite boutique de perles.
